Red Panda Gets Name!
Red panda christening: cub at Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park Zoo gets name By: The Canadian Press WINNIPEG - It's taken awhile for the christening, but a red panda cub born at Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park Zoo in June now has a name. The little one has been dubbed Kiah (kee-EYE'-ah), an Australian name which means "from the beautiful place." The zoo had asked the public to choose from four possible names for the girl panda and Kiah received the highest number of votes. Zoo spokesman Tim Sinclair-Smith says he thinks Kiah will be very happy with her name. Kiah lives with her parents Rufus and Rouge. Red pandas are small mammals native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. They are classified as vulnerable because their numbers in the wild are declining due to habitat loss, poaching and inbreeding. Red pandas are slightly larger than domestic cats, have reddish-brown fur, a white nose and ears and black eye mask.  · |

Re: Red Panda Gets Name!
Kind of surprised they gave it an Australian name and not a Chinese name like they usually do everywhere else.
